I Saw You CHAPTER TWELVE: Soul and Shell
He put the plastic bags on the table and sat on the sofa like he owned the place. The atmosphere turned tense and so did I. “D-Do you want something to drink?” I tried having eye contact with him but didn’t last long. “Cold water will do.” I nodded and hurried to the kitchen. When I returned I saw him sitting comfortably with his feet on the round table, arms on his head, and eyes closed. “Do you usually serve water with a bowl?” he said with eyes still closed. My brow rose because of what he said. I looked down and d*mn I was holding a bowl of water. I rushed back to the kitchen and brought him what he requested. “Seat beside me, Serra.” His eyes were still closed. My lips twisted because of his statement. “Chill... I don’t bite.” He opened his eyes and looked directly at me. I covered my neck with my arms. “You already did! Not once but twice!” He chuckled and beckoned me. “Come here.” I approached him with an alert stance and sharp eyes. He shook his head and brought two bo

SERRA “Go, Serra! Go, Serra!” Gugu raised her pompoms one after the other. “Give me an S - E - R - R - A!” She twisted her body to form each letter of my name, literally. If I don’t know her and saw her doing that I would one hundred percent freak out. She could replace Kayako in the movie and even do better. “S - E - R - R - A! S - E - R - R - A!” She clapped her hands while blurting out each letter. “Let’s take a break!” I slammed my butt on the concrete ground of the gymnasium when I reached the end of the stairs. “I’ll tell you when.” He stuffed his mouth with chips. “One more from the bottom!” He went down the gym’s stairs fast. I dragged my sore body and lazily went down the stairs. We’ve been doing this for a week now and it’s seeping the energy out of me. “Double time!” He clapped his hands and I speed up. “Attention!” he commanded. I firmly stood straight with chin up, chest out, shoulders back, and stomach in just like what he taught me a while ago before we started. “

“Where’s Amanda?” Amara asked as soon as I reached the table. “Her dad called her over. She was fetched by Mr. Garzon.” I sat on one of the available chairs. Six chairs were surrounding the round table. Beside me was a vacant chair and the other was occupied by Gugu. Next to Gugu was Amara then Grip and Victoria. Amara kept on glancing in Gugu’s direction. Victoria was all smiley while still holding on Grip’s arm and leaning, squeezing, herself to him. The latter remained expressionless. “Thank goodness! I really don’t like her.” Victoria’s nose bridge wrinkled. I could hear Amanda responding ‘Feelings mutual, Victoria.’ she would probably say that if she heard her. “Table thirteen,” the computer’s voice called. I looked at our table number and it was thirteen. “I’ll go get our orders.” Grip stood up but Victoria didn’t let him go. “Why don’t you get it, Serra? We ordered you get it. You know give and take.” She shrugged and sweetly smiled at me. “We ordered? I ordered,” Amara

“Are you avoiding me?” “D*mn!” I clutched my chest when Grip suddenly appeared right in front of me. “Jeez! What’s wrong with you?” I inclined my back inching myself away. “No, what’s wrong with you?” He returned the question to me. “Why are avoiding me?” he added. “I am going to be late for my next class–” “We don’t have a class after this.” He walked beside me. I pushed him away. “We’re not classmates.” “We are, starting tomorrow. I just got my new schedule.” He walked beside me again. Every step and pace coincided with mine. “Why are you doing this?” I faced him and brought the back of my hands on the opposite sides of my waist. He put his hands on his pocket and leaned over my face. I drew my head backward but he only stopped an inch away. “It’s my way of fencing you.” He winked and raffled my hair. I hit his hand and fixed my already messy hair. “Stop this nonsense right away, Grip.” “Liking you will never be nonsense,” he confessed frankly. His words were like scissor

He closed his eyes and leaned forward. My eyes grew big when his lips lightly touched mine. I froze. Something like this happened already. My brain couldn’t remember but my lips did. It was also light and soft but the warmth it gave me was different. My eyes inevitably closed. “Whatever it is do it now!” Gugu’s voice sounded in my ears. “It’s forbidden– d*mn!” Light pressures pressed on the sides of my head and softness and warmth touched my lips. I opened my eyes and saw Grip. Grip kissed me?! A scream from the rooftop brought me up on my feet and my awareness back to the present. I ran as fast as I could. Bumping and pushing Xyrus’ friends. I quickly pushed the rooftop’s door wide open and rushed in. There were groups of girls from freshmen to the highest year level. They were students from different departments. I even saw some from our department. “Welcome to hell, witch,” a girl with flaming red hair said after removing a red lollipop out of her mouth. Two girls closed t

SERRA“I saw what happened. I was on the fifth floor at that time. I was confused when he just stood there for a long time as if he was waiting for something and all of a sudden a body fell. He grabbed Serra’s arm with one hand and pulled her over the baluster,” a girl from the next table told her friends and they all squealed giddily.I am currently in the library trying to get some sleep with an open book standing in front of me to hide my face. I couldn’t nod off because of these annoying beez on the nearby table. They got the guts to make some noise because the terror librarian wasn’t here.“He’s cool!”“Cupid just hit my heart twice...”“I’m in love...”“I hate what happened next.” She let out each word with emphasis and made everyone on their side quiet. “Serra the witch landed on top of him. She acted weak and frightened like a scaredy-cat to lure our Grey. And poof he fell in her trap and hugged her. Serra turned in my direction with an evil grin and eyes black as midnight,” s

“Let’s have a group study, b*tches!” Amanda suggested. “We need that. Midterms is coming...” Amara’s face turned sullen as if her number in a lottery won but she forgot to place her bet. “I need help with calculus,” Mandy presented. “Mine in differential equations,” Kate expressed. “I need help in all subjects.” Lulu gently smashed her face on the table. “Me too...” Amara seconded Lulu. “I really don’t know why I chose to suffer. I don’t know why I chose civil engineering,” she added and imitated Lulu’s position. “I need help too–” Amanda received death glares. “What?” She chuckled. “Coming from you?” Mandy taunted rolling her eyes. “Yeah... you’re one of the top ten in our batch,” Kate commented. “What? Intelligent people struggle too.” Amanda amassed another bunch of sharp stares. “If stares could kill, I would be dead right now. Quit staring!” She glared back at them. “You won’t win! It’s the four of us against you!” Mandy narrowed her eyes more. Here comes another glarin

“Gugu, have you seen Grip?” I put my books in my bag and swung it over my shoulder. “You missed him already?” Gugu wiggled her brows at me. I rolled my eyes and went toward the door. Amanda was still asleep and I don’t want to wake her because she looked so tired from all the shoots her dad made her do. Her face is in every corner of Silverio plastered on huge bulletin boards endorsing perfumes, jewelry, branded apparel, shoes, and a lot more. What she failed to endorse were the number one shampoo, and soap brand in VeM. “Let’s go, Gugu.” I opened the door and there was Grip standing holding a bouquet. “You missed me huh?” He bit his bottom lip suppressing his smile. “For you.” He gave me the flower and gave me a quick kiss on the lips. I lowered my face to hide the stretching of the corner of my lips. I closed my eyes and brought the flowers to my nose. It has a peachy-citrus scent. I looked closer, it was a bunch of double apricot-pink yellow roses. My eyes widened in amusement

I Saw You CHAPTER FORTY-TWO: Mirror
SERRA “Dad,” I called him.It has been days yet he was still sad and listless.“What can do for yoy, sweetheart?” He forced a smile but the sadness in his eyes was visible.“I-I want to ask you about someone.” I lowered my head.“Come here.” He tapped the space beside him. I obliged and sat next to him. “About who?” he asked.“About my mom,” I stuttered.Hearing the last word he was grief-stricken. I felt bad asking about it.“You don’t have to tell me if you don’t feel like it, dad,” I sincerely said.He shook his. “It’s about time.” He smiled genuinely. “What do you want to know about her?”“What does she look like?” I asked even though I already knew.He moved away and pulled something out of the drawer of his bedside table. He gave me a round object. It was metal-like and silver in color with gold Vines and red roses all over.“Open it,” he told me after handing it over.I ran my thumb tracing the vine and pulled the top part upward. I saw myself, my reflection.“You’re a carbon
I Saw You CHAPTER FORTY-ONE: Shadow
The moment the water swallowed me I held my breath. There’s no way I’m letting the cold enter me. I looked up but it’s all water above me. My hair floats over my head like seaweeds. In the rashness of the moment, I began flinging my arms out.I expect to come back out and I did. I gasped for air before sinking again. I kicked my legs and flapped my arms and I was back to the surface again. But each chance to breathe became further apart. Each breath was less than the last.I tried once more. The more I struggle the more disoriented I became. I felt like I’m trashing inside an invisible prison. My first instinct was to get some air but there should be something else. I couldn’t fight for air forever. I need to find a way out.I pushed with my legs and arms and when I was able to bob my head out of the water, I breath as deep as I could. The water pulled me again. I looked around and saw a wall. The fear I felt was overlain by hope. I flicked my feet and tried to reach the walk. It was
I Saw You CHAPTER FORTY-ONE: That Thing
“No... That couldn’t be.” Kate staggered backward. “It should be there. I should be there,” she repeatedly uttered pulling her hair.I run towards her. “Don’t worry, Kate. We are going to find Lulu’s body.” I assured her and patted her shoulder.She yanked her shoulder away from my grasp and took a few steps backwards. She kept on pulling her hair and her eyes were restless. She didn’t know where to focus them.“W-What if that thing took it? W-What if that thing swallowed it?” Her breathing turned shallow and fast. She punched her head with boths hands wandering with little steps. She’s mentally unstable. I walked near her and caught her hands stopping her from hitting herself.“Stop it, Kate. You’re hurting yourself,” I told her.She already suffered enough. I couldn’t bear watching her like this.“That thing swallowed Lulu whole!” she squealed oogling her eyes at me.I grabbed her cheeks and made her look at me. “What thing, Kate? What thing?”After a moment of touching her face m

“I am sorry for ignoring you, guys.” Kate lowered her head. “I was just scared of Lulu. I’ve known her for years and I didn’t know she was capable of any of that. I know she won’t hurt any of you though. She was just after me.” Her voice cracked. I moved closer to her and rubbed her back. Comforting her is the only thing I could do for her right now. “Nothing of that is your fault, Kate. Monsters are made. Envy made Lulu into one.” I pulled her making her lean into me as she sobs. “But she is still the Lulu that we know. She’s a beautiful flower,” I added. She lifted her eyes to meet mine. “Will she become a flower forever? Are we going to meet her, the real her?” “No.” I shook my head. “In the next life I could be an animal or a plant or I could be in your body and you could be in mine. It depends on the decisions we make at this lifetime. That doesn’t mean we aren’t real. The real us is not our flesh but our soul.” I wiped her tears away. She nodded and smile. She leaned against
I Saw You CHAPTER FORTY: Free
I dropped my phone after hearing what she said. I hastely went back to the elevator and ran again toward the gym. It was passed two in the afternoon already. “Serra, here!” Mandy waved her hand at me. I ran in thier direction. I gasped for air. “Where is Amanda?” “Amara called and they were together at the moment. What’s going on?” She looked both worried and confused. I looked at Lulu’s direction and Mandy already got what I meant. “Lulu!” I approached her. She turned around and faced me. She was wearing an ice-cold expression, far from the Lulu that I knew. Something was really not right here. I saw Kate died but her name wasn’t carved at the black scroll. I shook the doubt in my mind and focused to the present. “Lulu, grab my hand and get out of the body.” I lend my hand to her but just like before she just stared down my hand. “Yes, Lulu. Do it. Trust her,” Mandy encouraged. She looked at me and smiled. I was relieved to see her smile but my heart started to race pushing m
I Saw You CHAPTER FORTY: Mourn
“Are you sure about that?” Grip asked. “Yes, bring me back to the mansion. I chose to front my fear.” I firmly said. He nodded and smiled. He was proud. He grabbed my waist and pulled me nigh him. Lulu’s and Dorothy’s name was already written on the scroll of death and today was the thirteenth day from Xyrus’ supposed to be death. I wanted to save them, to do that I need to watch dad’s every move. I was not certain if my plan would work but I have to try at least. “Grip, something’s off–” I turned around but he wasn’t here anymore. “Grip?” I sighed and just walked the long way toward the mansion. He was vanishing from my sight very often this days. It was a sign that he would leave and cross to the other side very soon. As I walk the garden I came across with bronze maids. They would avoid taking the same way as I do. They would even avoid staring in my eyes. I stared at the huge closed door before me. Just by thinking of going inside gave me goosebumps. I took a deep breath. I p
I Saw You CHAPTER FORTY: Sword of Hustling Wind
Fear enveloped me when I arrived at the mansion. Dead bodies of maids were lying everywhere in the front yard. The metallic scent of blood was giving me a feeling of gagging. I looked around hoping that I could find someone breathing but I was too late. Some were beheaded, some were stabbed multiple times, and chopped like a piece of meat. “Ahh!” I snapped my head in the mansion’s direction. I knew that scream and it was coming from the mansion. I ran and ran. Ran as fast as I could. I pushed the mansion’s door wide open. In front of me was dad wearing his usual coldness. In front of him stood Amanda. She was dressed like the lady in red. I saw no emotion in her eyes. Dad placed his hand on her shoulder and whispered to her, “say hi to your sister.” Amanda slowly raised her hand and waved at me like a puppet. “Hi...” Dad’s lips twitched. He didn’t like what Amanda did. His fingers turned black and grew long. Digging its sharpness in her shoulder. “Do it with a smile.” He gritted h
I Saw You CHAPTER FORTY: Previous Life
“Why did we stop?” I poked my head out of my carriage’s window. “A man dropped in the middle of the road, madame,” the coachman responded. I rose from my seat but a man stopped me by grabbing my arm. His face was a bit blurry but the longer I stare the much clearer his face become. My brows furrowed to see Xyrus who was wearing a weird looking clothes from the past. The breeches were long and fairly full in cut, reaching just below the knee. The doublet has a high waist at the sides and back, extending to a point in front. A deliberate opening of the seam on each sleeve allows the fine linen shirt underneath to be seen. He completed his attire with a cape that spans almost a full circle. I looked at myself. I was wearing a deep brown gown with a low rounded neckline and a small ruff paired with a winged collar. The tight sleeves have pronounced shoulder wings and deep lace cuffs. It has a matching petticoat pinned into flounces on a drum or cartwheel farthingale. I looked at him an

“D-Dad?” I whispered. He did not answer. I brought my phone out and opened my flashlight. I directed the light to his face. “Grip? What are you doing here?” He lended me his hand and pulled me up on my feet. “I should be the one asking you that. What are you doing here in the middle of the night? Are you seriously sneaking?” He made me turn my back at him and wiped the dust off my pajamas. “Yes, I am. So will you lower your voice now?” I scolded him in a whispering manner. “Do you think you won’t get caught? Maybe you passed through the elderlies but how about that?” He grabbed my hand and directed my phone’s light to the ceiling. I felt like my effort went to nothing to see the CCTV camera blinking red taunting me. I face-palmed. “You are lucky because you have a handsome boyfriend to the rescue.” He winked at me. “What did you do?” I narrowed my eyes at him. “Don’t looked at me like that. I just saved you from trouble. I moved the camera to somewhere that wouldn’t caught you.”
